Finish copy promo’s. Purveyors of maximal minimalism in bass music, Crushington explore the mid-tempo soundworld of dubstep. Inspired to step outside of their box by a face-melting New Years Eve performance from Skream and Benga, for the last two years, Crushington have sonically sculpted their own, well-received take on dubstep. Lacking a developed knowledge of the genre, their unaffected explorations into different tempos and grooves have caught ears everywhere, leading to DJ support from N-Type, Jakes, Emalkay, Distance, Seven, Truth, Bulletproof, Datsick, Excision, Hatcha and Headhunter. Along the way, they’ve collaborated with, or remixed for Black Sun Empire, SPL, Truth, Optimus Gryme and Bulletproof. With high profile support and collaborations boiling over left right and centre and several boutique vinyl releases to their credit, DJ bookings across New Zealand and Australia have come quickly and to lauded receptions. Old school producers and DJs from the era of vinyl and “by ear” engineering, their sonic fidelity has seen their Crushington tunes described by the likes of Antiserum as the perfect studio mixdown reference. To put it in simpler terms, Crushington’s subwoofer rupturing arrangements are fast becoming a standard setter with in the international dubstep community, where things go next from here though; only time will tell. a Crushington & Optimus Gryme - Hangman aa Crushington - Voodoo Skank
